How Does the BrdU Assay Compare to Other Proliferation Assays?
The BrdU assay is often compared to other assays like the Ki-67 and the MTS assay. - Ki-67: Measures a protein expressed in proliferating cells but is less specific to the S-phase. - MTS Assay: Measures metabolic activity as an indirect indicator of cell proliferation but can be influenced by factors other than cell division.
